Video Game Addiction

Video Game Addiction

Video game addiction is a condition in which an individual becomes so engrossed in playing video games that it begins to interfere with their daily life, relationships, work, or school. This type of addictive behavior is similar to other forms of behavioral addiction, such as gambling or internet addiction, in that it becomes the primary focus of the person's life and takes over other important activities.

Some of the symptoms of video game addiction include neglecting responsibilities, spending excessive amounts of time playing video games, having difficulty reducing or stopping video game use, experiencing withdrawal symptoms when unable to play, and feeling restless or irritable when not playing.

It is important to note that video game addiction is not officially recognized as a diagnosable disorder by the American Psychological Association or the World Health Organization. However, research has shown that it can have negative effects on an individual's mental health, including depression, anxiety, and decreased motivation.

If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of video game addiction, it is recommended that they seek help from a mental health professional who can provide a proper evaluation and develop a treatment plan. Treatment options may include behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, and counseling, which can help individuals understand and change problematic behavior patterns and improve their overall well-being.

Potential benefits of a free initial consultation

During this first session: potential clients have the chance to learn more about you and your approach before agreeing to work together.

Offering a free consultation will help you build trust with the client. It shows them that you want to give them a chance to make sure you are the right person to help them before they move forward. Additionally, you should also be confident that you can support your clients and that the client has problems that you can help them cope with. Also, you can avoid any ethical difficult situations about charging a client for a session in which you choose not to proceed based on fit.

We've found that people are more likely to proceed with therapy after a free consultation, as it lowers the barrier to starting the process. Many people starting therapy are apprehensive about the unknown, even if they've had sessions before. Our culture associates a "risk-free" mindset with free offers, helping people feel more comfortable during the initial conversation with a specialist.
